One night of low temperatures blackened my Crimson Crush tomatoes. sweet peppers and chillies. Cleared them all this morning and weeded their beds. Checked compost bin lids against the winds to come and cleared shed gutters of leaves.

Fed the birds, cleaned the spade and home for lunch...

Well, my season is up and running, well almost........
Drove out to local nursery and got car loaded with twelve 60L sacks of m/p compost which are now stacked behind the greenhouse. Bought a kilo of Lady Christl seed spuds which are now in the greenhouse ready for chitting and then planting into sacks to go into polytunnel when the weather warms up a bit to try and give me a really early crop.
Just noticed that the first of the onion seed I planted on 28th December are showing through. Oh and Parcelforce delivered my new polytunnel cover just an hour ago

I've now dug and flattened half the plot and marked the beds out with 1ft paving, 6 of the 8 beds ready to go!

This weekend I'll be flattening the sloping area behind the shed in readiness for the polytunnel frame, an area about 14ftx12ft, and using the excess soil to level up at the front.

All that leaves then is the paving of the family area, installation of a pond and pallet fencing. Should be all done by the end of Feb!
